D. P. HOOVER'S DEATH
Big-Hearted, Genial and Generous, He Will Be Missed Not
Only By His Family and Business Associates But By Many
Persons He Befriended.
TRIBUTES TO HIS WORTH
Funeral services for Daniel P. Hoover, who died in the Cleveland Clinic
hospital on Saturday morning, were
held in his late home on West Summit
street on Monday afternoon. The Rev.
M. A. Cossaboom, pastor of The Community Christian church, of which
Mr. Hoover was an active member,
officiated.
. Interment was made in Westlawn
cemetery and was in charge of Lee
T. Lewis.
Room Full of Flowers
Mr. Hoover's casket was surrounded
by many baskets of beautiful flowers.
The flowers were sent to the home
by relatives, office associates, clubs,
and individuals. After the services
it was necessary to use a lai'ge covered van to move them.
At the request of Mrs. Hoover, the
flowers were distributed among the
sick in North Canton and among the
hospitals in Canton.
Philanthropists Present
Among those at the services to pay
their last respects to the man they
highly esteemed were a number of
men active in community service and
philanthropic work in Canton. The
Commnuity Store, of Canton, of which
Dan P. Hoover was one of the organizers and to which he contributed liberally, was represented.
His Pastor's Tribute
The Rev. M. A. Cossaboom said that
he had known Mr. Hoover for a little
more than ten years. When he became pastor of the church Mr. Hoover
was active in the choir and was for
a time director of music. Throat
trouble forced him to surrender his
positions, but he remained active in
the Sunday-school and church.
Pastor Cossaboom praised Mr. Hoover for his generosity and the great
love he had for his fellow men. "He
was a genial man, and his greeting
was always of the hearty kind. When
I went to him for a contribution for
a worthy cause he never haggled;
he. just wrote a check."
He said that children loved Mr.
Hoover. "When he walked along the
street he was always waving to children. Young people had confidence in
him. This in itself speaks well for
the character of the man," said Mr.
Cossaboom.
He cited several instances to show
the generosity of Mr. Hoover.
Dr. M. Ii. Pierce Speaks
Outwardly showing the strain of
the death of his friend of many years'
standing, Dr. Martin L. Pierce spoke
of his long association with D. P.
Hoover and touched upon the things
that caused so many persons to love
him. .
"D. P. Hoover loved the open places.
He was a good sportsman, and while
on his hunting trips he realized that
all outdoor nature was God's gift to
humanity. He loved boys and he
backed their teams. One team today
is playing in a tournament.
"He loved music and he contributed
freely to the band.
"He was generous but he wanted to
know how his money was spent. As
a member of the orchestra Sunday-
school class, my class, although he
sometimes called it his class, it was
our custom to send baskets to people,
independent of the rest of the church.
On these occasions he was always
liberal.
"When the depression started, he
helped finance the Community Store
in Canton and was one of its most
ardent supporters. To this undertaking he contributed large sums of
money. He exacted a promise from
me that I would spend an hour watching the people enter and leave the
store. 1 did so, and he was greatly
pleased when L described the smiling

faces I had seen leave the store,"
said Dr. Pierce.
Democratic By Nature
Continuing,,Dr. Pierce said that D.
P. Hoover was exceedingly democratic
in his attitude toward his fellowmen.
Boys he went to school with in Nortli
Canton nearly 40 years ago remained
his friends throughout his life. He
was genial at all times, said the
speaker. |
It is natural that a man occupying |
a high position in the industrial world
must face many problems. To these
problems Dan Hoover gave careful
thought. He was no man's "Yes Man,"
said Dr. Pierce. He weighed the evidence. And he could be stubborn in
supporting his own views.
His Family Life i NOT AFRAID OF PUBLICITY
Dr. Pierce told of visiting Mr.
Hoover the day before Christmas. A
tree was in the room and his children
were lying around on the rug amusing
themselves in various ways. Mrs.
Hoover was watching them. Dan
Hoover was seated in a chair with a
large smile on his face. "It was
a typical American home where love
abounds. -I witnessed such scenes
several times in this house," said Dr.
Pierce.
His Survivors
He is survived by his widow, a
daughter, Margaret Ann; three sons,
Joseph, Thomas and Philip; two brothers, H. W. Hoover and Frank G.
Hoover, and one sister, Mrs. H. C.
Price, all of North Canton. He was
born in North Canton on August 19,
1880.

PRAISE D. P. HOOVER
All
Business Stopped During the
Funeral Services.
The high esteem in which Daniel P.
Hoover is held in North Canton was
shown in North Canton on Monday.
Every business house was closed during the funeral services.
Everyone expressed sorrow over the
passing of "Big-Hearted Dan."
"1 knew him since childhood," said
Mayor Frank M. Evans to a writer
for The Sun, "and he was in every
way a real man. This' town is going
to miss Dan. He wa.s generous to
the limit."
Ex-Mayor Becher Speaks
"1 knew Dan Hoover for many i
years. 1 went on hunting trips with
him. He was genuine. It is a hard f
blow lo me," said Logan Becher, for-1
Jus
mer Mayor of North Canton.
Sympathy for Mrs. Hoover and her
children are heard on every side. "He
loved his family as few men do," said
one woman. "Aroend his homo he
was just one big boy with
children."
' ART CONTEST
Closed On Saturday—-Drawings Wil
Be Judged This Week.
Willing at all times to give a public
official, be he Democrat, Republican,
Independent or Mugwump opportunity to account for his stewardship,
The Sun invited George N. .Graham,
Prosecuting Attorney of Stark county,
to contribute facts, not fancies, to this
newspaper
It is a habit we have in this office,
but not many public officials grant
our request. "Too busy," they say,
"to comply with your request."
What "Too Busy" Means
The Sun's opinion is that the aver
age public official in a county office
is too busy "feathering- his own nest"
to let the people know what he is
doing. Of course there are several
county officials The Sun holds in high
esteem, but the majority of them are
very ordinary fellows. And the fat
pay they draw is an imposition on the
public.
Graham Comes Across
Prosecutor Graham answered our
request with alacrity, and if he keeps
going at the rate he is going-, Ben
Long, political writer for The Sun,
believes that the Canton Graham will
be entitled one of these days to become a member of the famous firm of
Grahams. One was District Attorney
of Brooklyn, N. Y., the other, District Attorney of Philadelphia, Pa.
There may be something in a name
after all. If the Canton man can
reach the dizzy heights of Brooklyn
George and Philadelphia George his
fame is secure. They were real stars,
not flickering candles.
A Glance At His Record
Here is Prosecutor Graham's letter:

this administration, to furnish information lo the newspapers concerning

Mrs. (Jill Stronger
Mrs. Orrin Gill was able to walk

daughter, born about four weeks ago,
is doing nicely. Mrs. Gill came home
from Mercy hospital two weeks ago
today (Wednesday). Her condition is j
greatly improved. ,
i matters before the oll'ice. The people
have a right to know what is going
on.
"At this time, we wish to call attention lo the following facts: At
] the time this administration took
! office, January 1, 1933, there were
| thirty criminal cases pending and un-
J disposed of. At the January, t!)33,
1 sitting of the grand jury 50 new indictments involving various crimes
| were returned.
"At the February, 1333, sitting of
the grand jury 20 new indictments
were returned. So that before any
cases could be reached for trial, there
were 115 different criminal cases before the Prosecutor's office awaiting
trial and other proper disposition.
"To date hereof, the Prosecutor's
office has finally, either by trial, pleas
o^ guilty, or other proper disposition,
disposed of six of the cases bending
on January 1, 1933, and has disposed
of 51 of the cases returned by indictment at the January, 1933, sitting,
and has disposed of ten of the cases
returned by the grand jury in the
February sitting.
"As a summary then, 115 cases
have been before the Prosecutor's
office at and since January 1, 1933,
and 77 of these cases have been finally
disposed of. Active trial work is being steadily carried forward and in
addition thereto pleas of guilty in
various cases are being received and
sentence therein pronounced by the
courts.
"In .addition to this work the office
under this administration has had before it and
various civil
difficult questions of poor relief which
arc being handled by the various
township trustees under the effective
supervision of Warren Hoffman of
Canton.
"The olfice has rendered, many and
various opinions requested by the
boards of education throughout the
county and has taken an interested
and active part in many and all novel
questions presented by reason of the
extraordinary financial difficulties
through which all persons, linns, and
Anna E. Burky, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. A. C. Burky, surprised her
parents on Monday night by displaying a marriage certificate showing
that she was married to James Myers
on September 5, 1932, in Wellsburg,
West Virginia.
The bride is 17 years of age. Her
husband is 20 years of age. He is
the son of Ed Myers of Mt. Pleasant.
Anna is a clerk in her father's store.
Son Garrison To Wed
Another surprise for Mr. and Mrs.
Burky was the announcement yesterday that their son, Garrison E., aged
23 years, and Miss Grace Emig will
be married the latter part of this
week. The license was issued to them
in Coshocton, the home of Miss Emig,
several days ago.
Miss Emig is a college graduate and
a pharmacist. She has been employed
in the Burky drug store for more
than a year.
After their marriage they will locate on a farm owned by Mr. Emig
near Coshocton.
FUNERAL ON FRIDAY
IG, lovable, good natured, kind-
hearted, Dan Hoover moved
among us a while and left the
world a better place to live in. Nortli
Canton's loss will be felt across Stark
county.
In campaigns for relief of the afflicted and in other undertakings he
proved himself humanity's friend. He
was upright, conscientious, and a consistent Christian gentleman.
As a vice-president of The Hoover
Company he attained important rank
in industry, and as a citizen he stood
for "The Wholesome Influence" in
civic affairs.
X t X
THE thing 1 liked about him was his
deep and generous regard for the
men round about him. He never
"high-hatted" anyone. No friend ever
was ill or in trouble, but the heart
and hand of Dan Hoover reached out
to him in some manner to strengthen
or comfort him.
Nor was this faithfulness, this
quick force of feeling for others, limited in its expression to his circle of
intimates. It ran, I have been reliably
informed, far down through all the
ranks of his acquaintance, near and
remote.

President's Address
Y HAT is off to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. His address
on Sunday night at 10:00 o'clock
was the sanest expression on tlie
financial situation this nation has
heard for many, many years. It was
the ringing note of a real leader, of
a thinker, of a man who believes in
himself and in the American people,
and of a DOER.
President Roosevelt i.s not "playing
politics." He is too big for that. He
gives the Republican Congressmen as
much praise as he hands to the Democrats. That is the proper spirit, and
all intelligent people will support him
in his gigantic effort to lift the country out of the depression.

■ Experts—Experience
EAK1NG about "experts," reminds me that several nit-wits,
who pose as "editorial writers,"
arc throwing political brickbats at
President Roosevelt's Cabinet. The
complaint is made that thine are few
men of outstanding "national prominence" around his table. "They lack
experience," shouts one writer. i
Perhaps it is just as well. 1 recall
a certain administration in tlie 192()'s
when "men of experience" turned oui i
to be not so desirable, after all. Kail,
Dougherty, Denby, Forbes, et al., all
had a large amount of that commodity; but somehow they did not impress the country favorably.
Experience, in its way, is all right,
but when it is used to bilk the public, then il is all wrong.

D. P. HOOVER'S DEATH
Big-Hearted, Genial and Generous, He Will Be Missed Not
Only By His Family and Business Associates But By Many
Persons He Befriended.
TRIBUTES TO HIS WORTH
Funeral services for Daniel P. Hoover, who died in the Cleveland Clinic
hospital on Saturday morning, were
held in his late home on West Summit
street on Monday afternoon. The Rev.
M. A. Cossaboom, pastor of The Community Christian church, of which
Mr. Hoover was an active member,
officiated.
. Interment was made in Westlawn
cemetery and was in charge of Lee
T. Lewis.
Room Full of Flowers
Mr. Hoover's casket was surrounded
by many baskets of beautiful flowers.
The flowers were sent to the home
by relatives, office associates, clubs,
and individuals. After the services
it was necessary to use a lai'ge covered van to move them.
At the request of Mrs. Hoover, the
flowers were distributed among the
sick in North Canton and among the
hospitals in Canton.
Philanthropists Present
Among those at the services to pay
their last respects to the man they
highly esteemed were a number of
men active in community service and
philanthropic work in Canton. The
Commnuity Store, of Canton, of which
Dan P. Hoover was one of the organizers and to which he contributed liberally, was represented.
His Pastor's Tribute
The Rev. M. A. Cossaboom said that
he had known Mr. Hoover for a little
more than ten years. When he became pastor of the church Mr. Hoover
was active in the choir and was for
a time director of music. Throat
trouble forced him to surrender his
positions, but he remained active in
the Sunday-school and church.
Pastor Cossaboom praised Mr. Hoover for his generosity and the great
love he had for his fellow men. "He
was a genial man, and his greeting
was always of the hearty kind. When
I went to him for a contribution for
a worthy cause he never haggled;
he. just wrote a check."
He said that children loved Mr.
Hoover. "When he walked along the
street he was always waving to children. Young people had confidence in
him. This in itself speaks well for
the character of the man," said Mr.
Cossaboom.
He cited several instances to show
the generosity of Mr. Hoover.
Dr. M. Ii. Pierce Speaks
Outwardly showing the strain of
the death of his friend of many years'
standing, Dr. Martin L. Pierce spoke
of his long association with D. P.
Hoover and touched upon the things
that caused so many persons to love
him. .
"D. P. Hoover loved the open places.
He was a good sportsman, and while
on his hunting trips he realized that
all outdoor nature was God's gift to
humanity. He loved boys and he
backed their teams. One team today
is playing in a tournament.
"He loved music and he contributed
freely to the band.
"He was generous but he wanted to
know how his money was spent. As
a member of the orchestra Sunday-
school class, my class, although he
sometimes called it his class, it was
our custom to send baskets to people,
independent of the rest of the church.
On these occasions he was always
liberal.
"When the depression started, he
helped finance the Community Store
in Canton and was one of its most
ardent supporters. To this undertaking he contributed large sums of
money. He exacted a promise from
me that I would spend an hour watching the people enter and leave the
store. 1 did so, and he was greatly
pleased when L described the smiling

faces I had seen leave the store,"
said Dr. Pierce.
Democratic By Nature
Continuing,,Dr. Pierce said that D.
P. Hoover was exceedingly democratic
in his attitude toward his fellowmen.
Boys he went to school with in Nortli
Canton nearly 40 years ago remained
his friends throughout his life. He
was genial at all times, said the
speaker. |
It is natural that a man occupying |
a high position in the industrial world
must face many problems. To these
problems Dan Hoover gave careful
thought. He was no man's "Yes Man,"
said Dr. Pierce. He weighed the evidence. And he could be stubborn in
supporting his own views.
His Family Life i NOT AFRAID OF PUBLICITY
Dr. Pierce told of visiting Mr.
Hoover the day before Christmas. A
tree was in the room and his children
were lying around on the rug amusing
themselves in various ways. Mrs.
Hoover was watching them. Dan
Hoover was seated in a chair with a
large smile on his face. "It was
a typical American home where love
abounds. -I witnessed such scenes
several times in this house," said Dr.
Pierce.
His Survivors
He is survived by his widow, a
daughter, Margaret Ann; three sons,
Joseph, Thomas and Philip; two brothers, H. W. Hoover and Frank G.
Hoover, and one sister, Mrs. H. C.
Price, all of North Canton. He was
born in North Canton on August 19,
1880.

PRAISE D. P. HOOVER
All
Business Stopped During the
Funeral Services.
The high esteem in which Daniel P.
Hoover is held in North Canton was
shown in North Canton on Monday.
Every business house was closed during the funeral services.
Everyone expressed sorrow over the
passing of "Big-Hearted Dan."
"1 knew him since childhood," said
Mayor Frank M. Evans to a writer
for The Sun, "and he was in every
way a real man. This' town is going
to miss Dan. He wa.s generous to
the limit."
Ex-Mayor Becher Speaks
"1 knew Dan Hoover for many i
years. 1 went on hunting trips with
him. He was genuine. It is a hard f
blow lo me," said Logan Becher, for-1
Jus
mer Mayor of North Canton.
Sympathy for Mrs. Hoover and her
children are heard on every side. "He
loved his family as few men do," said
one woman. "Aroend his homo he
was just one big boy with
children."
' ART CONTEST
Closed On Saturday—-Drawings Wil
Be Judged This Week.
Willing at all times to give a public
official, be he Democrat, Republican,
Independent or Mugwump opportunity to account for his stewardship,
The Sun invited George N. .Graham,
Prosecuting Attorney of Stark county,
to contribute facts, not fancies, to this
newspaper
It is a habit we have in this office,
but not many public officials grant
our request. "Too busy," they say,
"to comply with your request."
What "Too Busy" Means
The Sun's opinion is that the aver
age public official in a county office
is too busy "feathering- his own nest"
to let the people know what he is
doing. Of course there are several
county officials The Sun holds in high
esteem, but the majority of them are
very ordinary fellows. And the fat
pay they draw is an imposition on the
public.
Graham Comes Across
Prosecutor Graham answered our
request with alacrity, and if he keeps
going at the rate he is going-, Ben
Long, political writer for The Sun,
believes that the Canton Graham will
be entitled one of these days to become a member of the famous firm of
Grahams. One was District Attorney
of Brooklyn, N. Y., the other, District Attorney of Philadelphia, Pa.
There may be something in a name
after all. If the Canton man can
reach the dizzy heights of Brooklyn
George and Philadelphia George his
fame is secure. They were real stars,
not flickering candles.
A Glance At His Record
Here is Prosecutor Graham's letter:

this administration, to furnish information lo the newspapers concerning

Mrs. (Jill Stronger
Mrs. Orrin Gill was able to walk

is doing nicely. Mrs. Gill came home
from Mercy hospital two weeks ago
today (Wednesday). Her condition is j
greatly improved. ,
i matters before the oll'ice. The people
have a right to know what is going
on.
"At this time, we wish to call attention lo the following facts: At
] the time this administration took
! office, January 1, 1933, there were
| thirty criminal cases pending and un-
J disposed of. At the January, t!)33,
1 sitting of the grand jury 50 new indictments involving various crimes
| were returned.
"At the February, 1333, sitting of
the grand jury 20 new indictments
were returned. So that before any
cases could be reached for trial, there
were 115 different criminal cases before the Prosecutor's office awaiting
trial and other proper disposition.
"To date hereof, the Prosecutor's
office has finally, either by trial, pleas
o^ guilty, or other proper disposition,
disposed of six of the cases bending
on January 1, 1933, and has disposed
of 51 of the cases returned by indictment at the January, 1933, sitting,
and has disposed of ten of the cases
returned by the grand jury in the
February sitting.
"As a summary then, 115 cases
have been before the Prosecutor's
office at and since January 1, 1933,
and 77 of these cases have been finally
disposed of. Active trial work is being steadily carried forward and in
addition thereto pleas of guilty in
various cases are being received and
sentence therein pronounced by the
courts.
"In .addition to this work the office
under this administration has had before it and
various civil
difficult questions of poor relief which
arc being handled by the various
township trustees under the effective
supervision of Warren Hoffman of
Canton.
"The olfice has rendered, many and

boards of education throughout the
county and has taken an interested
and active part in many and all novel

Anna E. Burky, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. A. C. Burky, surprised her
parents on Monday night by displaying a marriage certificate showing
that she was married to James Myers
on September 5, 1932, in Wellsburg,
West Virginia.
The bride is 17 years of age. Her
husband is 20 years of age. He is
the son of Ed Myers of Mt. Pleasant.
Anna is a clerk in her father's store.
Son Garrison To Wed
Another surprise for Mr. and Mrs.
Burky was the announcement yesterday that their son, Garrison E., aged
23 years, and Miss Grace Emig will
be married the latter part of this
week. The license was issued to them
in Coshocton, the home of Miss Emig,
several days ago.
Miss Emig is a college graduate and
a pharmacist. She has been employed
in the Burky drug store for more
than a year.
After their marriage they will locate on a farm owned by Mr. Emig
near Coshocton.
FUNERAL ON FRIDAY
IG, lovable, good natured, kind-
hearted, Dan Hoover moved
among us a while and left the
world a better place to live in. Nortli
Canton's loss will be felt across Stark
county.
In campaigns for relief of the afflicted and in other undertakings he
proved himself humanity's friend. He
was upright, conscientious, and a consistent Christian gentleman.
As a vice-president of The Hoover
Company he attained important rank
in industry, and as a citizen he stood
for "The Wholesome Influence" in
civic affairs.
X t X
THE thing 1 liked about him was his
deep and generous regard for the
men round about him. He never
"high-hatted" anyone. No friend ever
was ill or in trouble, but the heart
and hand of Dan Hoover reached out
to him in some manner to strengthen
or comfort him.
Nor was this faithfulness, this
quick force of feeling for others, limited in its expression to his circle of
intimates. It ran, I have been reliably
informed, far down through all the
ranks of his acquaintance, near and
remote.

President's Address
Y HAT is off to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. His address
on Sunday night at 10:00 o'clock
was the sanest expression on tlie
financial situation this nation has
heard for many, many years. It was
the ringing note of a real leader, of
a thinker, of a man who believes in
himself and in the American people,
and of a DOER.
President Roosevelt i.s not "playing
politics." He is too big for that. He
gives the Republican Congressmen as
much praise as he hands to the Democrats. That is the proper spirit, and
all intelligent people will support him
in his gigantic effort to lift the country out of the depression.

■ Experts—Experience
EAK1NG about "experts," reminds me that several nit-wits,
who pose as "editorial writers,"
arc throwing political brickbats at
President Roosevelt's Cabinet. The
complaint is made that thine are few
men of outstanding "national prominence" around his table. "They lack
experience," shouts one writer. i
Perhaps it is just as well. 1 recall
a certain administration in tlie 192()'s
when "men of experience" turned oui i
to be not so desirable, after all. Kail,
Dougherty, Denby, Forbes, et al., all
had a large amount of that commodity; but somehow they did not impress the country favorably.
Experience, in its way, is all right,
but when it is used to bilk the public, then il is all wrong.
